Conversion from PPT to PPTX generates xml with invalid characters

Hi, for the attached ppt file when converted with Aspose.Slides(20.8.0) to pptx, the conversion is successful, however one of the dependency files is not valid xml since it contains a characters that xml does not allow ( 0x0E).

The corrupted file path in the pptx archive is: “\ppt\slideMasters_rels\slideMaster1.xml.rels”. On the first line around the position 1160-1170 you will find one of the invalid characters.

From the xml spec it can be seen that this character is not valid (among many others).
Xml Spec:

Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF]

Looking forward for getting this fixed,
Thanks
